02:18.0
02:20.4
So you're saying you were at the opposite end of the parking lot,
02:20.4
02:22.0
when the assailant drew his gun?
02:22.1
02:23.0
Thereabout.
02:23.2
02:25.4
And do you see the gunmen, who killed Mr. Gant
02:25.5
02:27.3
anywhere in the courtroom today?
02:28.1
02:29.6
Hey yo! What up, Bird?
02:30.3
02:33.7
For the record you are indentifying the defendant, Marquis Hilton.
02:34.0
02:35.7
It's just Bird to me.
02:36.5
02:40.1
And Mr. Little, you have seen him,
many times before, have you not?
02:40.2
02:41.8
Yea, we jailed together down the cut-
02:41.9
02:44.1
Objection, Your Honor!
May we approach?
02:50.0
02:51.6
Quite a witness, ain't he?
02:55.6
02:56.8
Word on the street is,
02:56.8
03:00.2
Omar ain't nowhere near them rises when the shit pop.
03:00.9
03:03.4
Street say, the little cocksucker was on the East Side,
03:03.4
03:05.6
stickin' up some Ashland Avenue niggers.
03:06.8
03:08.5
That's the word on the street, huh?
03:10.4
03:13.2
Trouble is, String,
we ain't on the street,
03:13.2
03:14.8
we're in the court of law.
03:16.4
03:18.9
- Your Honor...
- Objection is noted and preserved...
03:18.9
03:20.8
for the record, Mr. Levy, move on!
03:21.7
03:23.6
Thank you, Your Honor!
03:23.7
03:26.0
Jurors will disregard that last comment from the witness,
03:26.1
03:30.8
...in which he explained where he had last encountered the defendant.
03:31.4
03:32.3
Yes or No, Mr. Little.
03:32.3
03:35.0
Prior to the shooting,
did you know the defendant?
03:35.9
03:38.8
I mean, I knew the man, but it wasn't like
he was no friend or nothin'.
03:38.9
03:41.9
So you would have no trouble recognizing him
03:41.9
03:45.8
from a moderate distance,
say 20-25 yards in daylight?
03:45.9
03:48.2
Ah no, no problem.
03:48.7
03:52.1
Mr. Little, do you recognize
03:52.1
03:53.7
this particular weapon?
03:53.8
03:57.0
- That's Bird's gun, the .380.
- You've seen it before?
03:57.2
03:59.5
- Bird was flashing that thing.
- So you had actually seen it...
03:59.5
04:01.3
before the day in question.
04:01.8
04:03.1
And on the day in question?
04:03.8
04:05.9
It was in Bird's hand.
04:06.7
04:08.5
When he shot at Mr. Gant.
04:09.4
04:13.5
Yes, Ma'am.
Bird covet them shiny, little pistols...
04:13.6
04:17.1
- Objection, Your Honor!
- ... and the boy too triflin' to throw it off,
04:17.1
04:18.8
even after a daytime murder!
04:18.9
04:22.9
You're a lying cocksucker, man!
I'll rip your heart out of your goddamn chest!
04:23.0
04:27.5
The defendant will regain control, or he
will be forcibly restrained and I will clear the court!
04:28.4
04:31.5
The witness's last anwer is to be stricken
and disregarded by the Jury.
04:33.0
04:34.5
Mr. Little.
04:36.4
04:39.4
Can I ask, why you came forward in this case?
04:39.5
04:41.8
I told the police, what I know.
04:41.9
04:44.0
Were you offerend anything in exchange?
04:45.9
04:48.2
- Like what?
- Were you arrested?
04:48.8
04:51.5
Were you going to be charged with a crime and by testifying,
04:51.5
04:53.6
...did the police agree to drop those charges?
04:54.4
04:56.1
Nah, man, it ain't even about that.
04:58.1
05:01.0
How many times have you been arrested as an adult, Mr. Little?
05:01.5
05:05.6
Shoot, I done lost count.
Enough to know not to take it personal.
05:05.9
05:11.7
Posession of a handgun, posessing
a concealed weapon, assault by pointing,
05:12.0
05:15.9
robbery, deadly weapon,
posession of a handgun again,
05:16.0
05:19.7
followed by violation of parole on weapon charges
05:19.8
05:22.5
followed by one count of attempted murder
05:22.5
05:24.8
and use of a handgun in commision of a felony.
05:25.7
05:27.6
That was no attempt murder.
05:29.0
05:32.2
- What was it Mr. Little?
- I shot the boy, Mike Mike...
05:32.3
05:34.2
...in this hind parts that all.
05:35.1
05:37.5
Fixed it, so he couldn't sit right.
05:38.3
05:42.6
Why did you shoot Mike Mike in his...
his hind parts, Mr. Little?
05:43.4
05:46.7
- Let's say we had a disagreement.
- A disagreement over?
05:47.0
05:49.9
Well, you see, Mike Mike thought
he should keep that cocaine he was slingin' ...
05:49.9
05:52.6
and the money he was making from slingin' it.
05:52.7
05:55.0
I thought otherwise.
